Over time, the headliners in all vehicles begin to sag. In fact, reupholstering headliners is one of the most common projects completed at D&R for. First, we remove all moldings, clips, and accessories that hold the headliner board to the metal ceiling. Next, we remove the board from the car, strip off the old material, and clean off the old foam. Afterwards, new material is glued to the board and then reinstalled in the vehicle. Turnaround time on this type of job is typically half-day.
